Hairdressing, chiropody, newspapers and other personal items are an additional cost. However, we are conscious of the usual disparity of cost of care of private and Council funded at most care homes. Our solution has been to bring down the cost to private clients and ask families for Council funded clients to assist with care costs which allows is to run a profitable care home whilst maintaining high standards and high staffing levels.

These prices are only a guideline, please contact Red Court Care Community to find out the exact price for your requirements.

My mother has been a resident of the Red Court Community at Grantham for six months. Happy, involved and very well cared for this is a delightful and friendly care facility.

After a difficult start, things settled down, and it quickly became apparent just how amazing the carers looking after mum really are. They have all built up a rapport with her, while being respectful and kind. Every staff member, not matter their job or how busy they are, is helpful, kind and respectful
to mum and the whole family and always spare the time to share a laugh and a joke, creating a community atmosphere in which mum is happy, healthy and comfortable. Her room, clothing and the wider home are all beautifully clean and maintained, any concerns are listened to, and all promotes the fact that family and staff are working for the same goal of maximum quality of life every day.

Possibly not the plushest care/nursing home compared with some, but the care and dedication shown towards my father was excellent from the very beginning of his stay there. He needed quite intensive nursing, and I cannot fault the nursing staff one bit - they were awesome. I was kept informed of any
new developments with his care, and my wishes towards the end of his life were met. The caring and housekeeping staff were all very kind, compassionate and patient towards my Father and very friendly towards me. I want to thank them all - I shall certainly miss them now that my Dad has passed away.

Whilst my mother has been in Redcourt Nursing Home, she has been looked after very well. The staff are accommodating to her needs and are kind and compassionate. She enjoys the food and she is always dressed nicely with her own freshly laundered clothes. The reception staff have been very helpful in
aiding me with the financial side of arranging for my mother's care since she has obtained a permanent place. I am glad that she is so near to where I live, so visiting at most times of the day is easy.
The home is always clean and tidy and the other residents we see appear to be equally fine.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum was initially admitted for respite care. We had no choice where she was placed it just happened Red Court could take her. I am so pleased they could. She had a lovely room with an en suite toilet. Mum's stay turned into long-term care and she was treated with love and compassion each and every
day of her residence. All the staff from the management and carers to the cleaners and caterers and everyone in between were so kind and attentive to both Mum and her visitors. There were a few teething problems getting Mum settled but these were quickly and professionally dealt with. Mum's time in the home was quite short, sadly she passed away in September. Although she was 99 it was still unexpected and sudden. The staff during those last few days in particular were all wonderful. I am very grateful to all of them for the care they showed Mum and their consideration towards me throughout. They made a very difficult time more bearable. Thank you all very much.

I would like to leave a very positive review for Red Court.
This has been a stressful time which only relatives with members of one’s family will understand.
My husband went into Red Court initially for respite care. It has now become his home as his problems became unmanageable by one person. I cannot
say a big enough thank you to all the team for guiding me through my monumental emotional decisions which have to be addressed, whilst caring for his needs with kindness and patience. That extends to all the staff, from the cheerful cleaning teams, the caterers, the day to day carers and nursing teams.
A very big thank you.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Individual members at Red Court were very supportive to myself and daughter during my mother's end of life journey.
They provided undivided attention to my Mum attending every 30 minutes. We were provided with food and drink whilst we made Mum comfortable. The home had a visit from the vicar who provided
prayers, she spent time with my mother which made the experience memorable.
We have a lot to thank Red Court for during my mother’s residency with much-improved communication. Mum loved doing the activities offered in the home and this brought much enjoyment to her life. Singing, dominoes, holy communion and bingo to name a few were all carried out by the excellent activities coordinator.
The hairdressing facility was excellent which was important to my mum and the small things amounted to bigger things.
With that being said, it’s difficult to maintain a high standard of care when some carers don’t work to the same level as others which reflects the 4-star rating.

My mum has been a resident in Red Court for 4 months and has been in other nursing homes. Red Court is a lovely place, my mum and I love it. Always warm welcome, Mum has activities all morning every day and loves it. There is always a good choice of food for breakfast dinner and tea. Coffee and tea
or cold drinks are always on the go not just for the residents either, visitors too. Hairdressers on-site, Mum has her hair done every week. Staff are amazing, friendly and always there to help and have a laugh too. I am so pleased to have Mum here she has settled here very well.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.783)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.783) out of 10 for Red Court Care Community is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.783 for Red Court Care Community is calculated as follows: ( (190 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 235 Ratings = 4.783
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Red Court Care Community is based on 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 53 registered maximum number of service users is 10.6, which has been reached with 20 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
